ES!
During my brief career as a party-plan cosmetics consultant, I did a large and very successful bridal shower party. Successful, that is, until we realised I had inadvertently turned the faces of all the guests BLUE! I’d had to buy new facewashers as it was such a big group, which we used during the facials to help the oil soak in. The combination of heat and moisture caused the dye to transfer onto the guests’ faces ... Nicola Saad, Bracken Ridge QLD.
Who else but me could find themselves bent in half, and stuck in the Ladies because their gorgeous scarf got caught in the zipper of their jeans? Ten minutes later and very red in the face, the zipper finally let go of my scarf and I made my lunch date only slightly late (but with a good story to tell)! Dianne Riley, Sutherland NSW.
It was my first day of Uni. I already felt a bit conspicuous as a mature age student amongst a bunch of teenagers, however I felt a lot more conspicuous as I entered the toilets and saw … Urinals? AARGH! I was in the Mens' toilets! I did not look up as I tried to sneak out … into the very crowded library … then into the Ladies! Belinda Hutchinson, Landsborough Q.
I remember my bridesmaid pulling the chair out from behind me when we stood to cut the cake at my wedding—without me realising. And sitting heavily on the floor in front of a whole lot of people … Melanie Page, Morayfield QLD. Ed’s Note: *whistling innocently* - I wonder who that bridesmaid was?!
An old friend went to great lengths to look me up. We met for a meal and I (rather gushingly) said how thrilled I was that we could now continue our friendship. I was glad that the friendship had meant as much to her as it had to me. Several months later I came to the realisation that her reason for looking me up was to get me involved in her latest multi-level marketing venture. Annie Barnes, Lota QLD. Ed’s Note: Annie, I think SHE should be the one who is embarrassed, not you!

e’ve all had them— those moments where you just wish the ground would open up in front of you, and swallow you whole ...
Not long after we got engaged, we were at a party with my beloved’s family. I was anxious to impress so you can only imagine how mortified I was when my future brother-in-law took great delight in pointing out (in front of everyone), that I’d somehow tucked the back of my skirt into my knickers on my last trip to the loo!
